Big Arson brought his Chicago ath-

played them only an even game for the

California "Southpaw Wonder" re-
hersed few curves before the grand
stand. Van is about the size of Wrinkle
man. though little more cOmpactly
built and his most dangerous delivering
seems to be rising ball. Ciarkson is
not with the hipdOdrOme and Arson put
Mark Baldwin in to pitch. Mark
pitched last year for Duluth and though
he has improved his curves, he has still
the same gyratic preliminary notions
and is not hard to hit The comparative
showing he made with Klopf, the young
Minneapolis twirler, is entirely to the
credit of the latter. The local hitters
got in as many clean hits against Bald
win as the Chicago sluggerS could make
from Klopf, and with the same support,
would have got more. In fact, equal
fielding would have given Minneapolis
the game with the bat. KlOpf was
naturally little nervous, and was dis
cOuraged by fielding errors and partial
umpire. so that his work was all the
more creditable. Big Arson could not
hit the ball out of the diamond and did
not get hit and when. for his last time
at bat, he famed the air four times and

Williamson and Flint also struck out,
while Baldwin famed twice. Burns,
Arson, Williamson, Tebeau and Bald
win had no hits but phantomS to their
credit and no more than one of these
would have been given had not Umpire
Jack Bennett considered it his duty
to give the visitors everything in
his power. On the other hand, Halves,
Patton, Foster, Kreig and Winkleman
pounded the ball hard, Foster and Kreig
each getting nit in the ninth that does
not appear in the score, as game was
called in that inning.
Minneapolis opened the game, HAYES
hitting safe one which Williamson
stopped with one hand, but not until
the runner crossed the plate. Patton
flew out to Williamson, and Pfeffer
could not handle Fosters hit in time to
catch Halves at second. BaldWin'S
wild throw to second, which Ryan also
let pass him, brought in two runs. Pet
tit then muffed Kreig's fly, but the rum

rays out ending the inning. For Chi
cago. Petit opened with a hit and went
out to second on throw by Kreig,
which should easily have caught him.
Then the errors began. Winkleman's
nervous fingers dropped a fly, Halves
fumbled two hits and Murray dropped
ball. Williamson got a safe one,
and three men took first on balls.
Petit came to bat second time and
raped out two-bagger, but was caught
at third trying to make more out of it.
Seven runs had come in, not one of
which was earned. After this the locals
settled down to good work, and Bennett
secured better eyeSight, the result being
an even game on runs. hits and errors.
Minneapolis opened the ninth with two
hits, but it was too dark to continue and
the game was called. The fine work of
Williamson and Pfeffer for Chicago,
and Foster, Potion, Lynch and Shaw
for Minneapolis, were commendable.
Petit and Ryan led their team with the
stick, but the long hits of both were
made after the side should have been
out in each case. The score follows:
